Description

Being resourceful is a good skill for life – being clever at using what is at hand, such as recycling.  The Professor “raps” the song “Resourceful” to tell the story of “Merlock the Mouse” and how she was resourceful in thinking up ways to raise money to buy a new bicycle.  Sing along with “ I am Resourceful”!

• MP3 of both vocals and instrumental
• This is a good lead in song to study rap music and the roots of rap and recitative.
• Talk about recycling and how it impacts our local community
• Activity – Make musical instruments from recycled materials such as water bottles filled with beans or rice – a maraca.  Tin cans and pencils – drums. Present a concert for parents and your school with your recycled instruments.
